12. Content and Services from Third Parties

The offerings on our website also include content, services, and performances from other providers that complement our offer.

We strive to include only those third-party providers who use IP addresses solely for delivering the content. However, we have no control over which third-party provider may store the IP address. This storage may serve, for example, statistical purposes. Should we become aware of any storage operations by third-party providers, we will promptly inform our users of this fact. Please also note the specific privacy policies of individual third-party providers and service providers whose services we use on our website.
